Macumba (German: Conchita und der Ingenieur/ transl. Conchita and the Engineer) is a 1954 Brazilian-German adventure film directed by Franz Eichhorn and Hans Hinrich and starring Paul Hartmann, Vanja Orico and Robert Freitag. It was based on a novel by Franz Taut. It was shot at the Babelsberg Studios in Potsdam near Berlin and on location in Brazil. The film's Brazilian title (see poster at right) translates as Conchita, Virgin of the Amazon. It was released in English-speaking countries as Macumba, playing on a double bill with Ed Wood's Bride of the Monster (1955).
